carried on removing the front end today, but there's only so much I can take off whilst still allowing the engine to run, for a buyer.

just a small update....
the s54 was sold and collected last week. I still have the gearbox here though.
also, I've agreed a deal 'over the phone' on a v10 engine and some other parts, to be left on the e60 chassis. going to hear it running next weekend, then hopefully collect it shortly after that.
with a bit of luck, I can start to make some progress with this then.

been and collected the parts off the e60 breaker today. so I've got most of the main parts I need, although I still need to source a m3 v8 manual gearbox.
the parts in the shrink-wrap is the oil filter housing and the oil cooler.
I also bought the e60 m5 radiator, I'm going to try and see if I can get it to fit
that's enough for one day......

managed to grab a few hours on the car earlier in the week..
first job was to remove some of the cr@p off the engine in an attempt to make the engine a little smaller, for now. this is what I removed, both exhaust manifolds, some heat protection, power steering 'flow' pipe, both original engine mountings and both banks emission control valves.
I also needed to make a little room in the engine bay too.
anti-roll bar dropped out of the way. I decided to take a little out of the crossmember, and a little out of the sump. also had to cut away some of the metal shrouding that's between the bulkhead and the nearside turret ( the nearside head is occupying
the same space)
I still had to drop the crossmember to be able to rest the engine in the bay.
I managed to grab a couple of hours on the project this afternoon.
I had a spare v10 sump here, so I cut a small section out of the front part of the bowl, and dropped that off for welding earlier in the week.
I got the sump back yesterday, and refitted the modified sump this afternoon..

I didn't do anything to it yesterday, after I got back home.KW355 wrote:Looking good Glenn, I am glad you got to spend a bit of time on your car instead of working on my ecu
been out the garage this afternoon though
crossmember and steering rack back on, and the n/s engine mount made.
they'll all probably be off and on a dozen times yet though. i'll take a couple of pics once I get the o/s mount made.
Forgot about this project being out the way in e46 chat, pleased I found it again though! Great work Glenn
